World Kangaroo Day (24 October) is nearly upon us! Victorian Kangaroo Alliance is joining with Kangaroos Alive, Animal Justice Party Victoria, and Save Kangaroos on Mornington Peninsula to hold an outreach event at the State Library Victoria. We hope you can join us!

We will be holding a peaceful demonstration, holding signs and handing out flyers, to celebrate kangaroos and educate the public about their plight.

We will greatly value your presence no matter how long you can spare!

Please note, guardians are responsible for any children attending the event and, because of graphic signage, it may not be appropriate for little ones
